mitchy1690 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I'm using Virgin UK 1GBit, I hit around 950Mbit using the Hub4 and when in modem mode I barely get 800mbit. Using firmware 3.0.394. Wired Connection, no wifi being used during the tests. I've Factory Reset and used different cables. I've used QoS on and off, when on i tried 1000 down and 950 down. Geo-Filter Off, Traffic Controller Off, AdBlocker Off. Network Settings, IPv6, Port Scan and Syn Flood protection all off DNS servers, ISP and Google. DMZ On and Off, when on i used my computers IP.

I'd suggest taking the VM Hub out of modem mode and instead disable it's Wi-Fi. From there, please take the WAN IP of the R2 and put it in the VM hub's DMZ. Please also reserve the current IP for the R2 from the VM Hub LAN settings to ensure the R2's WAN IP doesn't change in future. After that, re-test your speeds and see if it's any different.

mitchy1690 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 If that works does that mean i can no longer use DMZ for my computer or can i still use the DMZ in the R2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit of a security risk. Newfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchy1690 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 The VM router's DMZ is locked to 192.168.0.xxx - so what Wan IP can i use ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2022 The WAN IP on the R2 is shown on the System Information page, use that IP and put it in the DMZ on the hub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchy1690 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Slightly faster, maxs out at 840 Edit, also the speed is never stable using the netduma, switching back to the VM router it hits 950mbit and stays there till the test is done, with the netduma its constantly bouncing between 650-840mbit now on the same tests.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2022 It's likely you have hit the limit on what the R2 can facilitate on your network - as a test put the testing PC in the DMZ then do speedtest.net what speeds do you get then?

mitchy1690 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Using the DMZ on the VM router i hit the same, around 953Mbit and it stayed around that speed. I thought the R2 has gigabit ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2022 I mean put the PC in the DMZ of the R2 and then test what speeds it gets, yes it does but it's not guaranteed you'll hit those speeds - even with the Hub 4 you're missing 50Mbps due to the routing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchy1690 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 My PC was in the R2's DMZ before i started posting this thread and it was the same, I understand i wont hit the 1000mbit cap but 150mbut is a decent amount to lose not to mention it struggles to maintain the high speed while the hub4 can sit near 950mbit during the full test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2022 If that is the case then it's almost certainly the most you can achieve as Hub with R2 in DMZ and PC in R2 DMZ means the traffic goes straight through to the PC. What sites are you using to test the speeds exactly? How did you disable QoS specifically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchy1690 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 I have it set to Never, I also tried factory resetting the netduma and not touching the QoS, i then set it to always and changed it to 1000/75 and tried Traffic Prioritization on and off. I used the speedtest app on windows 11, I tried 4 of the closest servers then 2 Virgin servers, I also tried Origin/Steam downloading the same games and last i downloaded a torrent of Mint and compared the speeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth upgrading them if they are old and degraded. May or may not help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat6 pair is 11 months old and the cat7's are 6 months old, I think if it was a problem with being old it would affect both routers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchy1690 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 I factory reset the router then tried a speed test, I disabled the QoS and tried a speedtest, I disabled the Wifi and tried a speedtest then disabled the firewall/port flood protection and tried it again. The fastest i could hit was 860mbit but usually around 800mbit while same servers i always get over 900mbit Using a torrent with a high amount of seeders i hit 960mbit and stayed around 930-960mbit for the first 20gb of the file using VM. Using the netduma on the same torrent i hit 860mbit but the speed kept jumping from 740-860mbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 10, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 10, 2022 On the VM Hub, go to Advanced Settings > Security > Firewall and disable all the options there, also disable UPnP and if you haven't already WiFi would be best so no devices connected to it take away bandwidth from the R2. If you don't get any higher after that then that will be the maximum you can get as there is nothing else that could be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchy1690 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 I've already tried disabling everything i could in the VM Hub4, sadly i think i'll have to give up and move on from the netduma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 10, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 10, 2022 Sorry to hear that, you could always use the V Hub for downloads and the R2 for everything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzy Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 It probably comes from the V Hub... My two 1G lines easily hit above 900 Mbps... Afterwards, between us I don't understand why you want to abandon R2 just for 10 mb/s the time difference will be minimal if you already manage to dl up to 100 mb/s... Anyway very few download servers allow it! Newfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchy1690 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 The fastest i could hit was 860mbit, that was rarely. usually its around 800mbit, i get 950mbit consistently not to mention the speed stays stable around 950mbit while the netduma cant for me. So i would be losing around 150mbit the majority of the time plus a stable download speed and i must be lucky with the very few servers, steam, origin, epic and uplay all max out my connection and torrents obviously are great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
